When do I stop buying extra mags?

[Newfoundlandrover]

stop buying when you have exceeded the amount that you can carry on your person lol

I gotta pretty big backpack

Gun closet leads to gun room, which leads to gun rooms, which leads to gun floor, say the basement, which leads to divorce, which leads to gun house.

I think Sir Issac Newton actually first came up with that equation.

For pistols...I like 5-6 per gun. For something that has a thin and/or cheap magazine like Ruger Mk. I, II, IIIs and the TT-33 where you can normally put 2 magazines in one "standard" pistol mag pouch and the ammo is also cheap to shoot lots of I like those guns I like to have around 10.

this is something i've been struggling with, i figure there is no limit as others have said as long as you paid a fair price. you can always trade/sell them later.

 

[sillymike]

end ? what end ?

Exactly... Next thing you know, you'll be buying back up pistols... so they can 'share' magazines...

Then you buy more gun in the same calibre... so they can 'share' ammo...

AR mags are a sickness all their own.

^This.

I have 20, and I don't even own an AR!

This might be just a few too many.

I used a Springfield xd 9mm to shoot PPC duty pistol it's 150 rounds of either 6,12,24 round matches
I had enough mags to load all 150 rounds but only 6 rounds per mag. And they where all original Springfield magazines
Lots of people thought it was excessive until they realized all the extra time I had between targets when you don't have to reload mags
That and I'm just plain lazy sometimes

10 Mags per pistol / rifle is my max. 8 loaded and two spare. Rotate the spares in, etc.
But i've bent my own rule with a Glock 17 and JR Carbine 9mm.. so i'm allowed to get 20.

not if you have to sell half or all your guns to even out the assets in the divorce!

I have 3 mags each for my .22 LR,
6 for each of my pistols,
4 AI mags for 2 of my bolt action (they're so damn expensive!), and
8 mags each for my M25 and my AR15s.

I would like to get a couple more AI mags, but that's it, I think I'm at my limit.

I hope to go away on an extended vacation/parental leave next year - so I have to draw the line somewhere and arbitrarily

 

[gdawg]

not sure i totally get it unless you are into competitive shooting. 8-10 mags? in my years of reading about firearms, have i missed some well known fact that mags inherently unreliable or something? i definitely keep some spare ammo around because it is such a pain to get ammo these days but haven't felt the need to buy a bunch of magazines for my in-production semiautos.

Non res guns don't exist and the first move any smart person does when the relationship hits the rocks is transfer all firearms to someone else.
